#158708 - why interpreter?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Lynn Reed said:
We could even have an interpreter that would run 8051 code.

Without attempting to guess whether this is a good idea or not at all: Why would you go for an interpreter, if you can have a true '51 cast to the silicon next to the ARM or whatever?
